Roswell.. its true..they are here!!!

Leaving Dallas I drove east across the state of Texas
towards New Mexico. It was a great drive today – starting with the outskirts of
Dallas and then the city of Fort Worth a little down the road. The roads
quietened down after that and the buildings disappeared to be replaced by thousands
of wind turbines in what must be the biggest wind farm I have ever seen. There
were just endless amounts of the turbines as far as you could see. But as
quickly as they had appeared they were gone and being replaced by Oil Drills.

Wind turbines - Green power....

replaced by Oil Drills!! Black Gold!!

Thousands of them!

The oil drills were everywhere. At one point I had a clear
view both sides of the road as far as I could see and all I could see was the
slow motion see-sawing of thousands of these metal hulks as they pumped oil
from below the dry rocky ground. I opened the car window and was smacked in the
face by the gorgeous tar like smell that must be the norm around these parts!
It has to be the Texan version of smelling a Chip shop in Manchester or Pizza
in Italy. It’s a lovely smell and a shame I couldn’t somehow post a smell on
here for you to tale a sniff.

I finally arrived in Roswell, New Mexico after a good 6 and
a half hour drive. I had made good time, so after stopping at the hotel to
check in I continued to drive a little further north into the New Mexico desert.
This place is known for aliens after the infamous alleged crash of a UFO in the
1940’s, so I wanted to take the opportunity for a little bit of alien spotting.

What about the aliens?

Offroading in the desert

Aaaah aliens!!

and more of them!

I had heard about a road north of Roswell called simply
‘Road 13’, where there are reports of strange goings on. I looked into the
information and discovered that the most probable time to see anything ‘unusual’
is at dusk – just as the sun has descended beyond the horizon and before it
gets so dark you would miss anything. This is the time to spot aliens.

The entrance to ROAD 13

So I found road 13 and drove off the highway, along a sandy
dirt track and into the unknown. After a while I found an area where there was
another track leading further into the desolate landscape. I turned off and
drove deeper into the desert until my car could go no further. I turned around
for a quick getaway, left the car and went out to see what I could find. I
noticed on my watch that the time was a couple of minutes before 6pm.

I remember nothing about what happened next, except for a
strange noise all around and dull feeling in my forehead. I dropped my camera
but luckily it continued to record video as the sky around me grew darker. A
while later I found myself back in the car, driving back towards the highway
with no recollection of the events that occurred since I had left the car.

I glanced at my watch and it was now 3 hours later.

I don’t know what happened, but I feel like I have been in a
microwave. I have checked my arse and it appears not to have been probed! All I
have is this short video recording from my camera. Take a look at this and
please don’t be scared. Now tell me that aliens do not exist!!

WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO CAREFULLY!!!!!

Only watch if you are not of a nervous disposition.

I went to bed that night after witnessing unexplained white
flakes falling from the sky outside. They looked like snow and felt like snow,
but this is New Mexico – does it snow here!? I’m not sure what is happening!!

SNOW - OR ALIEN LIFEFORMS!?!

The next day I awoke after a fantastic sleep and found
myself drawn towards the UFO museum in town. This is a place that tells the
story of the UFO sightings and alleged alien beings that crash landed near here
all those years ago.

Hmmm interesting...

True?

Aaaaah reminds me of last night...what happened!?

The museum is like stepping back in time to the 1960’s, when
I suppose it was in its heyday. There are no modern computer simulations or 3d
images. Just newspaper clippings, original photographs and testimony from lots
of people who claim to have been involved someway in the mystery that surrounds
this little New Mexico town. After my traumatic episode last night, the stories
sounded familiar as did some of the photos. I almost felt like some eyes were
watching me as I studied the many letters written about the incident. It was in
fact a really quaint way to spend an afternoon and I was quite surprised at how
many people there were looking around. When I left the museum, I was surprised
that the ‘Snow’, from last night seemed to have fallen only in certain areas –
One the road behind the museum, only the left side of the road was affected.
The right side of the road was completely clear. Weird eh!!

What is it!?

Dead or alive? Real or conspiracy?

Aliens getting married?

Selling coke?

Doing security?

Nowhere to park in Roswell..unless...

Street lamp or Alien?

Only one side of the street with snow? Must be aliens!

The town is still in the grip of Alien fever, with strange
little shops lining main street and alien themed cafes on the corners. It could
really do with a facelift as its looking past its sell by date – but it is
still definitely worth a visit if you are interested in the extra terrestrial
and want to visit.

I’m stuck between two thoughts. On one side I like the place
with all its weird little quirks, like the alien heads atop the street
lights.On the other hand it could be so
much more if the museum was updated and more effort was put into more modern
facilities all around. I suppose it’s a bit out of fashion nowadays as you can
read all you want about Roswell on the internet and in books. But I suspect
there may just be some otherworldly being in charge of everything down here in
deepest New Mexico. Perhaps this strange being wants Roswell to remain as the
quiet little town that it is, so that they can come back sometime soon.
